Long-enough article with an interesting hook. Well-cited throughout body, with no copyvio. Fit for the main. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 14:33, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't find an unknown person commenting on irony to be very interesting. I'd like to suggest a far more direct approach:

ALT1: ... that Jack Holt, who had aerophobia, starred in The Great Plane Robbery? —BlueMoonset (talk) 19:02, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

That hook is fine by me. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 19:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't simply writing "fear of flying" or "afraid of flying" be more accessible to the MP audience? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:53, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Sure. I've updated the original hook. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 00:55, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

And the alt? Otherwise looks good to go. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

I'll strike the ALT, since the original hook has been modified into a simplified version of the ALT. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Reinstating tick. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:08, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
